We are super excited to announce the theme of Lily's upcoming litter: The Seedlings! Not only is is spring with flowers in bloom, but it is also the first English Springer Spaniel litter that we have bred. We have been planning this litter for years and are over the moon that these puppies will be born within a month!
What does this Theme business mean? It means that each and every puppy will have a flower name! First of all Lily and Buttercup are both flowers so it really makes sense! Flowers are not just for girls! Future puppy buyers need to start thinking on what kind of flower name they'd like for their new addition! The Registered name does not need to be the same as a call name. If you want to call your dog Rex that is fine! The name we register the dog under with the AKC needs to be a flower name. I need to do some final checking, but it looks like up to 36 letters and spaced are included. Additional letters/spaces up to 50 are $10/2 letters. Here are a few examples of names:
Three Doves Sweet William (25)
Three Doves Ruler of the Cosmos (31)
Three Doves Sweet Magnolia (26)
Three Doves Little Red Poppy (28)
Three Doves Stately Bells of Foxglove (37) (This would be extra per AKC rules)
Three Doves A Host of Golden Daffodils (38) (this one would cost extra per AKC rules- but its part of one of my favorite poems by Wordsworth!)
Hi Terra
This sounds pretty cool. We were considering Three Doves Roisin Dubh, which in Irish means “black rose” or “dark rose”. Not sure or final yet, but would that work? Or are you looking for an actual flower species name like tulip or sunflower?
I hope all is going well with Lilly. I’m really excited for this litter and a puppy.
Well done 👍Terra. I’m not very media savvy but I see y’all are accomplished.
